Tesla sales crash continues in Europe, with Germany down 70%
-
Except in Germany you can chose from like three whole banks that participate
-
You went back to the banking industry and you report this event as a good thing?
You are telling me you are paying via PayPal without involving the banking industry?
I have the choice to either tell PayPal and my bank what I'm buying or just my bank. I chose the latter.
-
So you just like to complain then?
There's no point in blocking everything. I'm interested in what's happening with Trump and the US, with Tesla, the occasional Linux news, but when my feed is 90% "Why Linux is actually good", "Musk/Trump bad", "Tesla shares in EU down again" for the fifth time, it gets annoying. Blocking stuff is too crude a tool.

Each time I see a new article about drop in sales, the percentage is higher. I love it.
I keep thinking it’s same article being reposted before noticing the drop is 10-15% greater than the last time I saw it. I hope he’s kicked from Europe entirely.

Yes, you are right, not anymore, I don’t trust it though as it was founded by not only Peter Thiel but also Elon Musk.
PayPal blocks accounts that are politically controversial, such as some alternative media outlets, cryptocurrency platforms, or activists. Also Whistleblower organizations like WikiLeaks have been blocked and their funds frozen.
For these reasons I find a boycott completely justified.
PayPal was not founded by Musk

Elon truly is a genius businessman. Letting him run the government is clearly a great idea.
I mean he's become a whole lot richer. Tesla is just a casualty. Why he hasn't been ousted from the board or sued by investors, I don't understand.

And wero from European paiement initiative that regroup all major french and german bank.
Far as I know it's more of a send money from phone to phone thing for now. My bank supports it, but it's only an option in the app which I don't use.
It is especially sad since it was meant to replace giropay, which actually was more like Paypal than wero is.
Let's hope it is just a matter of time. -
go big or go home : 100%
You can go to 110% if you burn enough tesla's
-
Aren't there alternatives to Paypal, like Wise and Revolut?
Germany tries to make one every two years. The newest one is called Wero/kwitt

Say what you will about faceless corps, but toyota won't send some jackass out a the public face to do sieg hail, and be the gleeful butcher of government programs.
You have to be nestel levels of horrific before it breaks out of the corporate bubble.

Let's hope it is just a matter of time.It will be open later to shop and eshop. Probably around 2026

Doesn't make my comment not true.
And I don't filter or block anything or anyone. Rawdogging Lemmy, the way God intended.
My instance has the same attitude. But of course its easier when being small with hundreds of users rather than thousands.

Deliver is not the same as sales. They are also launching a new model this summer so people could just be waiting. I know it’s a great news story, Europe bands together against Musk to show dissatisfaction with American politics, but it may not be true. If someone could find Tesla reports that delivers are far lower than expected I will change my mind.
I wanted to find their predictions for production in Q1 2025 to see if they planned for less deliveries before all this Musk hit the news cycle. The closed I got as 2024 Q2 production numbers. https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-vehicle-production-deliveries-and-date-financial-results-webcast-second-quarter-2024
Yeah I'll believe it when I see the trend last more than a month or 2

Please have a look at the listed founders of PayPal: Paypal Wikipedia
Please actually read the article
The company was originally established by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek in December 1998 as Fieldlink. Later it was renamed Confinity,[9] a company which developed security software for hand-held devices.[10] When it had no success with that business model, it switched its focus to a digital wallet.[11] The first version of the PayPal electronic payments system was launched in 1999.[12]
In March 2000, Confinity merged with X.com, an online financial services company founded in March 1999 by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho.
Musk founded a company that merged with the company that invented PayPal.

I think it's the first time in my life I routinely check in on the stock value of a company, and it's pure Schadenfreude.

As Wikipedia lists him as a founder i think it’s ok for me to call him that as well. But of course, you can insist on the loooooong explanation that he founded a company that merged with another company and the merged one finally became Paypal.
